It handles CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, and semi-flammable A2L refrigerants including R32, R410A, R22, R134a, R404A, and R407C — covering the full range of systems in the current AU installed base and the R32-dominant split systems coming through now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #007acc; border-bottom: 2px solid #f0f0f0; padding-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 35px;\"\u003eBest For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHVAC-R technicians servicing R32, R410A, and legacy refrigerant systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechs working in hot ambient conditions who need sustained recovery speed, not just rated speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService vans carrying a single machine across residential, light commercial, and refrigeration work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny job involving A2L semi-flammable refrigerants where certification matters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #007acc; border-bottom: 2px solid #f0f0f0; padding-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 35px;\"\u003eWhy the Vortex Dual Recovers Faster in Hot Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003eMost recovery machines slow down as ambient temperature rises because discharge pressure climbs and the compressor labours. The Vortex Dual addresses this directly with a micro-channel condenser — the same heat exchange technology used in high-efficiency systems — combined with an oversize fan. The result is lower discharge pressure sustained throughout the entire recovery cycle, not just at the start. On a 40°C rooftop in summer, that sustained speed is the difference. The 1 HP oil-less dual-piston compressor drives the recovery rate; the condenser and fan design are what maintain it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #007acc; border-bottom: 2px solid #f0f0f0; padding-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 35px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eINF-714-202-G31\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e230V (AU\/NZ)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCompressor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e1 HP oil-less dual-piston, AC motor drive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCondenser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eMicro-channel with oversize fan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eOperation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eTwo-valve with self-purge (no hose change required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eGauges\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eFull-size protected suction + tank pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCompatible Refrigerants\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eCFCs, HCFCs, HFCs incl.
